(first backup your blog template before editing anything).

1. Sign into your Blogger account » Settings » Formatting
Choose the number of posts you want to display on homepage.


2. Go to Design » Edit html » tick the expand widget templates.
Scroll down to the bottom of the template code and find this.

</body>

3. PASTE this code above that code.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>

</b:if>

In that above code, Edit the part that I highlighted in red color according to Step 1. It determines the number of posts that to be displayed per page. (Make sure, the number you set is same like the one in Step 1).

4. Control + F and search for all the occurrences of this code.

data:label.url'

and replace it with this

data:label.url + "?&max-results=5"'

Again, the number in the above line depends on the number you set in the STEP 1.

5. Now, the styling part.. You can choose the one you wish.

Code below

.showpageArea a {
text-decoration:underline;
background: #ffffff;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;

}
.showpageNum a {
text-decoration:none;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
border-top: 1px solid #cccccc;
margin:0 3px;
padding:3px;
}
.showpageNum a:hover {
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
background-color:#cccccc;
}
.showpagePoint {
color:#333;
text-decoration:none;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
background: #cccccc;
margin:0 3px;
padding:3px;
}
.showpageOf {
text-decoration:none;
padding:3px;
margin: 0 3px 0 0;
}
.showpage a {
text-decoration:none;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
padding:3px;
}
.showpage a:hover {
text-decoration:none;
}
.showpageNum a:link,.showpage a:link {
text-decoration:none;
color:#333333;
}

Copy the above code. Find this line and paste that code ABOVE IT.
